Jetpack Vimeo Embed Forces Reduced Size

    For the last few weeks, when I embed a vimeo video into a new page, and then set the width to “wide”, the video when displayed in live page is restricted to 640×360.

    This is new behavior as I have a dozen or more identical pages where the vimeo link renders to the full wide width i.e. https://morganhealy.com/fashion/to-my-blue-earth/

    This seems to have occurred at an update as every video after the video above has the same restricted size.

    In inspector, I’ve tracked the issue to the ‘iframe’ line under “div class = embed video”. Once you untick the element ‘width’ and ‘height’, the video returns to the proper ‘full width’ size.

    element {
    display: block;
    margin: 0px;
    width: 640px;
    height: 360px;
    }

    Seems like some buggy update? Many thanks in advance.

    Update – deactivating jetpack fixes the behavior??? Would this be a jetpack update bug? I’ll leave jetpack activated so y’all can see the error.
    Update 2 – once jetpack is setup, the behavior returns.

    Hi there

    Can you confirm which block you’re using to embed the video so we can do some testing?

    Thanks!

    Hi Dan,

    It’s the Vimeo embed block. Not sure if there’s a difference to other video providers , but traditionally I have simply pasted in the Vimeo link (https://vimeo.com/490311589) into the open entry area, selected full width and then saved. Often I will add captions also.

    No change in how I input from when it was working to now, just the change in appearance.

    Cheers,

    Morgan

    Hi @morgzilla,

    I tried adding your Vimeo video in my test site, and it appears with the correct width – not resized at all.
    I wonder if you had made any changes to your site – any other plugin or theme updates perhaps?

    Jetpack is also not connecting well at the moment, so my debug options are limited. It looks like there might be some slowdown time or something blocking the connection at your servers’ end: can you reach out to your host and ask them if they have any blocks or limits on your XML-RPC.php file??

    It’s also worth checking whether any Jetpack IP addresses are blocked. The full IP range can be found at the bottom of this page:

    https://jetpack.com/support/hosting-faq/

    Let me know about the site’s potential updates and the Jetpack connection: with Jetpack well connected we should be able to keep investigating on this a bit better ??

    Thanks!

    Hi Stef,

    I’ve tested by removing all my custom CSS, and that does not fix the issue.

    I’ve also tested by deactivating all plugins except for Jetpack, and that does not fix the issue.

    I really think that something has happened in an update, as like I said in my original post, all my pages have been created in the same way and up until the post https://morganhealy.com/fashion/to-my-blue-earth/ the sizing acts as expected. Since then it is wrong.

    There seems to have been a new class added at some point – class=jetpack-video-wrapper. My older posts did not have this class in the inspector.

    Thanks ??

    Thank you for sharing those details @morgzilla. I did some extensive testing here and I do see that the block behaves differently on my Jetpack site now. The Full Size option is missing for me. Do you still see that?

    At this point, I’d like to run some more tests with you on your site to try to figure out what’s happening.

    Could you contact us via this contact form and mention this thread?

    Thanks!
